...from mathjedi.
The original meme was to look up your birthdate at Wikipedia (minus the date) and list two events which happened on said day in history, two folks who were born and one who died.
However, I couldn't just limit myself to those parameters...so I had to pick a couple more.
JULY 11
Events:
1346 Charles IV of Luxembourg elected emperor of the Holy Roman Emperor
1789 Jacques Necker dismissed as Finance Minister for France for sparking the storming of the Bastille
1848 The Waterloo railway station in London opens
1859 "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens is published
1940 WWII: Vichy France regime formally established
Births:
1274 Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland
1925 Nicolai Gedda, Swedish Tenor
1934 Giorgio Armani, Italian fashion designer
1959 Richie Sambora, American guitarist (Bon Jovi)
1975 Lil' Kim, Rapper
Deaths:
1688 Narai, king of Siam

haha... yeah, what AZ said. :) Maybe I should sing Switchfoot more often.
(good thing I didn't arrive a day late, though, because that would be Madonna's birthday.)
